TARGET STORE WILL OPEN ON SUNDAY

The national chain plans an all-day extravaganza to celebrate the opening of its first Lake County store, manager Tracie Kelsen said.

The 88,000-square-foot store is to open at 9 a.m. Sunday and close at 7 p.m. From 1 to 4 p.m., shoppers can meet Scott Thompson Baker, who plays Craig Lawson on All My Children.

There will be specials throughout the day and extending through next week. The Leesburg store's opening is part of a major Florida expansion by Target. The Minneapolis-based Dayton Hudson Corp., which owns the chain, recently opened three stores in Orlando and another in Altamonte Springs. A Kissimmee store is to open in mid-1993.

The chain already has 25 stores in Florida and plans to open another 25 by 1995. Nationwide, there are 463 Target stores in 32 states.

Target's construction is part of $5.5 million in renovations and additions to the Lake Square Mall. The project also included a redesigned food court, a new art deco-style entrance to the movie theater and space for 10 new shops.
